Story: OOXML expert: ODF standard is broken

Not inconsistent at all

My objection to Relax NG DTD Compatibility, is not that it is an OASIS Committee Specifcation rather than an ISO Standard. My objection to apply that specification is that ODF 1.0 does not claim to conform to the part of that standard that was applied to Alex.

You can't just take a random standard and apply its constraints to ODF and say that ODF is broken because it does not conform to that other standard. For example, ODF 1.0 does not conform to XML 1.1, VRML, SGML, OpenFont, OOXML, or PDF/A. But we never said that we did.

ODF is defined by what the text of ODF standard states. It is that simple.
